La Palma, Canary Islands - Volcano Thread

well i just had an interesting half hour travelling from our atmosphere to outer space and back again..lol

Good ash cloud going southwest away from islands/nw african coast and out to sea...for people/wildlife. Gives them a break.

I have been wondering about that left shoulder smoke all day...been trying to find the live feed that pops up on the upper right small box of the main feed that shows the volcano from behind. Has anyone come across it... it might just be low lying cloud or from cinder blocks rolling down and coming to rest there or one of the older or a newer vent. On a mobile so definition not great here of live feed.

Still going strong...I wish they would zoom in bottom left clearly to see of smoke there is rubble or vents.Or somebody release info one way or the other.

ok 8.28am...time on the feed of my last post is the closest view...what does anyone think...4 areas of smoke....not clouds so smoking rubble or vents or both?

my second last post says live la palma/afar tv top left of box ^^^^^^

May have been asked earlier in the thread but is this the volcano that’ll create (supposedly) a giant tidal wave that’ll hit NY ?

The explosive activity of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, on La Palma, has increased again in recent hours, as well as the emission of gases in the northern part, the National Geographic Institute confirmed this Thursday. The lava has reclaimed around 17.2 hectares from the sea, estimates the Cabildo de La Palma, and on its way to the ocean it has destroyed 855 buildings and partially damaged 126 others. The destroyed roads total 27.4 kilometers, according to the latest measurement by Copernicus, the European Union's Earth Observation Program. This Thursday, residents will be able to temporarily return to their homes to collect belongings, always outside the exclusion perimeter of 2.5 kilometers. The farmers of Puerto Naos, El Remo and Las Hoyas are also allowed to visit their farms for irrigation tasks. The intense winds that will blow in the Canary archipelago for the next two days will disperse the volcano's emissions towards the Atlantic Ocean and guarantee air quality in populated areas, reports the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).

Bold emphasis mine..would this possibly reflect what we see in lower left as we watch live streams of cone?

Sad for the inhabitants...no sound a good but errie choice.....Excellant footage..though not sure the footwear at the end is the most apprioprate for such conditions 😉

Silly Q time, so the lava reaches the sea and the sea I guess is relatively shallow where it enters, some lava will just go uner water but the rest then will just form new land, yeah?

I guess also that the sea could be really deep also where lava enters and if so, the lava would just go to bottom of seabed and take longer to build any new land

Is this kinda what happens?

good pic.

ah yes, you can see the snaky track the lava took in the darker colour to form the new Bombilla land - and it seems to be a fair whack of land too

The Cumbre Vieja volcano, on the island of La Palma, not only maintains the same fierceness after the arrival of the lava into the sea, but in the last hours it has increased its explosiveness and the ash fall, as confirmed by sources from the Institute. National Geographic (IGN). They warn that explosions are being generated on the north slope of the main cone. This new situation could cause collapses in the cone in the short term, something that enters into the forecasts of the scientists displaced to the island. In this sense, the volcanologist from the National Geographic Institute María José Blanco explained this Thursday at a press conference that the morphology of the cone "has changed and may continue to change."

Kermit re new lava streams outlets...lets hope they join back up with the earlier ones downhill before it hits what's left of the town

25% of the houses lost... happened in the last 24 hours :(

not looking good...big balls of lava rock now also being spit out further to right. Possibly undermining of a big chunk? hope it stabilizes and stays put til tommorrow/daylight.... smoke coming from 2 places either side of that new lava stream at bittom of screen from earlier. Dogs were barking loudly earlier tonight...they seem to sense things there. More people allowed collect stuff yesterday..hopefully the areas this might effect. hopefully air still ok for areas asked to stay inside. fingers x'd.
